Most Commodity Resins See a Price Uptick in March

Higher regional demand drove up North American prices for most commodity resins in March.

Materials with prices on the rise included polyethylene, polypropylene, suspension PVC and PET bottle resin. In engineering resins, North American nylon 6 and 6/6 prices have declined since the start of the year. And in the recycled resins markets, high density PE prices are up in the last six months, while prices for recycled PP have dropped.
